South Korean Actor Oh Dal Su, who was pointed as a perpetrator of sexual abuse at the show business, finally announced his opinion.
On February 26th, Oh said, "I have never acted like this because the claims that have been raised around me are not true," he said. "As soon as I read an article based on comments and anonymous comments, I have had time to look back on my life. 30 years ago, I went back to my early 20s and looked back at myself, but I never acted like that."
But he also added that "I am deeply sorry that it took some time to make myself clear even though there were waitings and criticism"
Below is the his announcement regarding the recent criticism in the center of #MeToo campaign in Korean society.
I am actor Oh Dal Su.
First of all, I apologize for causing concerns to so many people because of the rumor.
I would like to talk about my position on the recent case that an anonymous account wrote a comment on a portal site claiming harassment on February 15 and 19, and were both deleted.
The claims raised around me are never true. I did not do that.
As soon as I saw the articles written about those anonymous account, I took time to look back in the early 1990s. I went back to myself in my early 20s, which was 30 years ago, but I never acted like that..
However, I do sincerely apologize for delaying my statement despite there were many people who wanted it, and many who criticized me about it.
The reason is that the filming schedule of the movie I am currently participating was held until February 24th. I believed that it's my duty to complete the shooting as an actor. Thankfully, I was able to wrap up the filming that was promised with many staff and actors.
Again, the claims raised in anonymous comments are never true.
I have been through so many things in the meantime, as an actor and as a human being, with a very frustrated heart. Finally, I do apologize again for the time I needed to get my position carefully.
